Tancredo

Joe Guzzardi, a New York lawyer, wrote an article which essentially said that he does not believe that Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo had the rhetorical and political skills to win the race. He criticized the “patriotic immigration reformers” (Hunter and Tancredo) because they could not inspire Republicans. Although they both did drop out of the race, they did hold strong on what they believe in and felt that immigration was the most important issue the United States is facing right now. Although Tancredo is not true presidential material, he did become popular and did open many peoples eyes to this topic and will continue to do so in the future.

Tom, Tan Tancredo

Tom Tancredo has not been doing a whole lot lately. Other than his strong stance on immigration, he really hasn’t been involved with very much. He did announce though that campaigning about the border isn’t doing anything and we need to find a plan to secure the border. This really doesn’t relate to Tancredo’s news in recent weeks, but I found an article where Tancredo said that if Muslim terrorists attacked the US, we could bomb Islamic holy sites of worship. I thought it was interesting because that seems extremely drastic. Personally, I think if we bomb Islamic holy sites of worship, we will start an entirely new war, one that we do not need.
